Mini Mart now features 12 artists working in a variety of mediums, including ceramics, chain mail, beadwork, collage art, plush creations, printmaking and murals.<\/p>\n
Among the participating artists are muralist Cristi Lopez, whose public artwork can be seen around St. Petersburg, and mixed-media artist Kyli, who transforms cleaned, recycled trash into colorful collage pieces she calls “trash strip” art, according to Green<\/p>\n
One of the goals is simply bringing artists together, Green added. <\/p>\n
